99 Programs, 9 Programs in Bank 0, 10 Programs in Banks 1…9 each 

 

First 9 programs Deep Impact compatible 

 

Sounds can be designed and archived with a PC Editor software 

 

Major sound parameters can be changed easily on the device itself 

 

Free sound libraries will be published 

 

Software can be updated through MIDI 

 

Software update is free 

 

MIDI Expander Features: 

 

Portamento can be either fixed time, or fixed rate 

 

MIDI channel, pitch bend range, octave transposition settings 

 

Trigger / Gate mode 

 

Key priority: Lower, Upper, First, Last 

 
 

Signal Processing Building Blocks: 

 

4 VCOs with saw, square and triangle waveform each 

 

Every VCO has separate LFO for PWM 

 

Every VCO has separate decay envelope for saw amplitude 

 

Every VCO can generate complex dynamically changing waveforms by 
foldover distortion 

 

Harmonizer with 3 voices, variable transposition 

 

High quality guitar distortion for the harmonizer voices 

 

EQ control and noise gate for the harmonizer voices 

 

Attack-Decay envelope for VCF and Attack-Release envelope for VCA 

 

Smooth crossfade between harmonizer and synthesizer voices 

 

VCF with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch mode 

 

VCF has 12dB/oct or 24dB/oct mode 

 

LFO with delay acting on VCO or VCF 

 

Effects: 

 

Bass guitar sound or synthesizer sounds can be routed separately to effect 

 

Chorus, Flanger, Slapback, Reverb, Overdrive and 4 band parametric 
Equalizer effects 

 

Requirement for using FI: 

 

9V stabilized, 100mA, Roland-Boss type supply with minus pole in the middle. 

 

Additional requirement for sound editing: 

 

PC with XP or Windows 7, with a MIDI interface. Minimum screen resolution: 
X>=1280, Y>=900
